It's their land. What more should be required to stop people from dumping their crap on it?

By which I mean, not "what would have stopped them?", as fences, armed guards and tanks may have stopped them.

I mean, "what is the minimum requirement to ensure land isn't filled with other people's, or companies, stuff?"

For me, if they want to store stuff on some land, they should make sure they own it first.

This is interesting to me. Drive through isn't very popular in the UK, I think there's a few KFCs and maybe McDonald's/burger king.

But driving is such a pita I might as well cook or buy something from a supermarket if I'm going to do anything active.

Unless I'm on the way back home from a commute perhaps? I don't really understand the business model. Also, what's wrong with parking and walking in to get it? Leaving the engine running and crawling forwards to a window and then waiting anyway, I don't get it.

Honestly in my younger years I had the time to hunt around for the right streams, rips, subtitle files etc, but it does take time and effort. For the price of a few sandwiches or a handful of coffees I don't have to spend the time doing that anymore.

What's annoying is that it's not a single subscription anymore, it's 4-5 subscriptions which really adds up over the month.

You think other countries don't have protests?

This looks like one of those "fuck you in particular", except for a whole country.

A lot of their constituency want the properties they own to go up in value. Or at least not down, which risks negative equity.

STAR. For every question try to give a situation, task, action and result which came from you personally. E.g. situation, someone was manually copying data from an online portal every month. As a task, you're asked to write some code which scrapes an API, and you defined the task via docs and planned tests. Then as an action you worked on it for a few days, and the result was the company didn't need to manually spend a few days per month doing it, freeing up people to do more exciting things.

It shows you understand the problem and know how to go about solving it in a professional way.

One man controlling access to a sizable percentage of the world's internet access doesn't solve much.

I think it would be quite difficult to persuade me I can solve problems by burning down a Citizens Advice centre.

Jsonb in postgres is fine, I've been using it for years. Much better than letting mongodb anywhere near the stack.
